In this episode we hone in on a historical example of non-monogamy, and learn a lot about the Oneida Community Silverware Company. It's a gas, and a special friend took a break from playing DnD to drop by and talk history with us.

This episode was supposed to be about quality time, but the first half of the episode is about this super awesome play from the 1930's that we love. We're not nerds, you're a nerd. Shut up!

This episode deals with the tactics disabled folks find successful when dating, the forced de-sexualization of disabled bodies, and some of the things abled folks do when dating disabled folks that we really wish they wouldn't.

WE'RE BACK FROM HIATUS! Did you miss us? In this episode we show just how immature we can be while discussing what is possibly the single greatest benefit of polyamory: outsourcing! We're sending your relationship to china, and you can only make it great again by making the single worst choice possible for president.

This episode is all about parenting in polyamory, which can be a hairy topic. Thankfully Tikva Wolfe, the author and illustrator of Kimchi Cuddles, is an expert.

If you've ever wanted advice on dating as a survivor of sexual assault, or if you have ever wanted to be a better partner to someone who is a survivor of assault, this episode is for you! Trigger warnings for assault of course, but I will say we kept the conversation accessible and it shouldn't be too hard for folks to listen to unless the whole topic is off limits for you.

This episode is about an ugly topic we would all like to pretend doesn't exist. So uh... if y'all wanna make this one "the lost episode" that's fine, but I feel like there's some pretty good information in here, you know? Sometimes relationships end and it's good to know how to deal with it. Not your relationships of course, those will be around forever. But other people for sure. Is this too long? I feel like it's too long.

By fan demand, here is the much anticipated episode covering long distance relationships! What is a long distance relationship anyway? Is it a type of hat? A pet you're not allowed to have? A completely valid style of relationship whereby two people have the audacity to fall in love while not being geographically close? It appears no one's quite sure, but we assumed the last option and ran with it, so hopefully our scientist retroactively make this episode valid someday. We can only hope.

In this episode we try to discuss dating while trans outside the common "it's dangerous as fuck bro" narrative. Don't get me wrong, it is dangerous as fuck, but there's a lot more to say about it than just that. We delve into our own experiences and struggles in a very light-hearted way, and made a cool episode. You should listen to it.

For deaf and HoH folks who would prefer a transcript: due to a family emergency and finals and the holidays, the transcript isn't up yet. I wish it wasn't so, but it may take a few weeks. I'm very sorry and we are going to try to fix this as soon as we can.
